  Changes and New Developments after 2000 at Debrecen Summer School celebrating its 90th Anniversary. The author (currently acting as Managing Director of Debrecen Summer School) takes a subjective look at those changes and new developments which have expanded and enriched the traditional activities of this unique institution since the end of the 20th century. Providing a brief summary of the decades before 2000 when DSS became an independent non-profit public company, the article intends to give an
  overview of some of the major steps taken by the former and current managements which seem to have strengthened the position of the School in the field of promoting Hungarian language and culture. In addition to opening a new school in Budapest in 2002 and introducing special courses in the spring, autumn and winter, DSS has found various ways of cooperating with the University of Debrecen as well as offering semester courses on some of the so-called less widely used and learnt languages such as e.g. Czech, Norwegian, Romanian, Swedish or Turkish. One of the most extensive recent activities would include a wide range of international cooperation based on different kinds of European project applications such as Erasmus+ and the Visegrad Fund. The main aim of the article is to show that the 90-year-old institution is still a living organism which has always tried to live up to the expectations of the age in making Hungarian language and culture attractive to as many people as possible.

  In February, we commemorated the 100th anniversary of the birth of János Váradi-Sternberg (Nagyvárad, January 10, 1924 – Budapest, February 12, 1992), a Transcarpathian historian, professor and specialist writer. The renowned researcher was the excellence of Hungarian historiography beyond the border, who, as a university teacher, trained generations in conscientious, objective research work. Unfortunately, he did not receive the recognition he deserved during his lifetime, so it is the task of posterity to cherish his memory in a dignified manner.

  . In 2018, Debrecen's agricultural higher education celebrated a century and a half since its foundation. In the decades since, it has become the country's leading professional education institute for agriculture. It was born in the post-1867 Reconciliation era, realising the vision of the city's farmer society, in line with the  state's engagement, which extended the scope of central power, and gave a new impetus to Hungarian education policy and helped to launch the modernisation of Hungarian agriculture. This special anniversary has inspired the chroniclers of our times to provide an overview of the scholarly teachers of a century and a half who were school founders, who were at the head of the institution for a considerable period of time, and whose activities included enhancing the quality of Hungarian agricultural higher education. The articles in the university history journal, Gerundium, serve this purpose.
